Schneier on Security

Bruce : Basically I only mention them here to keep track of them.

Ouch, you should never ever say that, the "honors in these awards is two way".

Part of the reason you get given these awards is the publicity your name generates for the award givers by the "reflected glory" of you accepting them as an "Industry Name".

A simple solution to "tracking them" would be to have an online CV and add them to a page in the same way you do with papers you publish.

Then to give the organisation the "publicity" they want if you gave a speech or talk etc as part of the award process you could title the page in this part of the blog,

"Interview I gave to ABC at their XYZ awards."

And just mention in the body of the post you where a recipient of an award as opposed to handing one out etc.

It's a little more stylish, and that way you keep nearly everybody happy whilst maintaining a dignified air and lending gravitas to the process, which also increases your chance of geting other benifit.

As was once remarked "There's players and there's spectators, the rewards are reserved for the players".
